"The Catholic Priesthood" by Starlight Media

Branden Stanley's Starlight Media (mentioned on the blog here and here) has just come out with an awesome short but powerful video on the Catholic priesthood. Do you know someone thinking about the priesthood? Pass this on, but, MORE importantly, look for young men you think would be good priests and then TELL them you think would make good priests! It is an awesome life!

One of my 5 sons is married. The second has very seriously considered the priesthood but is fearful of the academic requirements. He just got accepted into the Air Force and goes to basic training in June. He said he will continue to consider the priesthood while in the military. I still have 3 more sons and they will all be watching this video. Thanks for posting it!

Great video, I was at St. Charles Borromeo Seminary last year and it was a great experience. I encourage the parents on here to ask your sons if they have ever considered becoming a Priest, sometimes that is who God calls men into the Priesthood, through the invite from a parent or loved one.

Did my eyes decieve me or did I see the Extraordinary Form of the Mass being celebrated? The priest was facing AWAY from the parishioners and there were NO altar girls! And was that incense and a censer being used in a later shot? Where were the "Liturgy Puppets", the "Liturgical Dancers" and the army of "Eucharistic Ministers"? OH, the "Spirit of Vatican II" is being violated! Call to Action and Women's Ordination Conference must be notified!

Sure, but I think you are seeing more videos on the priesthood because the need is more immediate in the sense that if nobody steps forward to be a priest, parishes close. If nobody steps forward to be a religious brother or sister, that isn't the case. I'm obviously a big supporter of BOTH more priests AND more religious, but I'm just telling you why there seem to be more videos on the priesthood right now.

what a wonderful video, thank you for posting it! I believe there are more videos featuring priests nowadays because the Holy Spirit is reminding us to pray for good and holy priests--and to strenghten them for the battle to come. There will be a battle--it is the ageless battle of good vs evil of persecution vs freedom and our priests will be called to lead the way.

Please Pray for My Brother Nathan

O great St. Peregrine, you have been called "The Mighty," "The Wonder-Worker," because of the numerous miracles which you have obtained from God for those who have had recourse to you. For so many years you bore in your own flesh this cancerous disease that destroys the very fibre of our being, and who had recourse to the source of all grace when the power of man could do no more. You were favoured with the vision of Jesus coming down from His Cross to heal your affliction. Ask of God and Our Lady, the cure of the sick whom we entrust to you. (Pause here and silently recall the names of the sick for whom you are praying) Aided in this way by your powerful intercession, we shall sing to God, now and for all eternity, a song of gratitude for His great goodness and mercy. Amen.
